An Engineer's Guide to Erosion

Erosion is one of the most persistent and destructive challenges engineers face across aerospace, energy, flow control and industrial manufacturing. It silently degrades surfaces and eventually leads to catastrophic failures if left unchecked. As industries push the boundaries of performance and sustainability, the need for advanced protection against erosion has never been greater.

This guide explores the mechanisms of erosion, why traditional coatings fall short, and how Hardide’s innovative CVD tungsten carbide coatings are redefining protection in harsh environments.
